Chapter 72 School Sports Day
The Fourth Middle School's sports meet has finally begun!!
The sky was clear, flags were flying, and the inspiring athletes' march resounded throughout the venue.
Principal Wu of No. 4 Middle School and other school leaders sat on the rostrum in high spirits.
Xiao Zhen yawned and stood in the square formation of athletes from his class. He was pulled in to make up the numbers. Because Xiang Zeyu and Liu Xingquan's mobilization actions both failed miserably, Teacher Feng had to resort to the ultimate trick of drawing lots to select the first person to participate in the competition. He was one of the selected ones.
Now they were wearing the same school uniform, standing on the playground track, following Class 1 in front of them into the field.
The formation of Class 1, Grade 2 came to the front of the rostrum in an orderly and neat manner. They suddenly took off their school uniform outer coats and revealed neat T-shirts. The students in Class 1 formed a formation within tens of seconds. The music on the field changed from a passionate march to soft and familiar pop music.
Led by squad leader Gu Yu and deputy squad leader Cui Mingzhi, they began to sing in unison facing the podium.
"It's hugging the sky." Gao Yuan, who was beside Xiao Zhen, said angrily, "I didn't expect Class 1 to do this."
Teacher Lily in the audience stood up excitedly and waved her arms to direct the Class 1 formation. The students in Class 1's impromptu performance lived up to Teacher Lily's expectations, and both the chorus and the accompanying movements were very professional.
Xiang Zeyu snorted: "As expected of Class 1, they always want to be in the limelight."
"Cui Mingzhi hasn't revealed anything yet." Liu Xingquan said quietly. He stared gloomily ahead, where Cui Mingzhi and his female partner Gu Yu were singing and spinning in circles, looking very skilled. "He must have practiced this secretly for quite a while, Yan Zhen, you see, he even kept it a secret from us."
"Well, maybe brotherhood is nothing compared to class honor." Xiao Zhen came to the conclusion calmly.
"Too much!" "I told you there are no good people in Class 1." The classmates criticized Class 1's behavior of seeking attention.
Xu Kewei whispered, "The key is whether the principal likes it or not."
"Look at the principal, his face is crooked from smiling! Look at our teacher Feng, he looks really depressed."
Xiao Zhen looked up and saw Mr. Feng sitting in the audience seat of Class 2. He had a rigid smile on his face and was clapping stiffly. Xiao Zhen smelled a strong sour smell without any surprise. He turned his head to look at the rostrum. The principal looked smiling, but his eyes were obviously a little strange. His sight was not focused on the performance of Class 1, but was wandering around. Xiao Zhen curiously stretched out his consciousness tentacles and gently touched the principal's head.
(My scalp is a little itchy from the wig.)
…
Xiao Zhen stared at Principal Wu in silence. He was about 50 years old, but he looked only 40 years old. He had thick gray-black hair and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, which made him look gentle and dignified. Unfortunately, the gray-black hair that made him look wise and calm was fake .
(It's so itchy. I really want to scratch my scalp.)
(When will these little bastards finish singing?)
(It's so fucking itchy.)
…
Xiao Zhen turned to Liu Xingquan and said, "I think Principal Wu probably doesn't care much about this kind of performance."
"Really? Look, his face is crooked from smiling!"
That's because his scalp is really itchy.
Class 1 finally finished their singing performance. The host of the sports meeting spoke passionately through the loud speaker: "Thank you very much for the wonderful performance of Class 1, Grade 2. Next, Class 2, Grade 2, will walk to the rostrum! Here they come! Here they come! With the youthful spirit and the vigorous sunshine, they walk confidently! How will they show their youthful selves in front of the rostrum?"
Gao Yuan muttered softly: "Can this host say something nice? How else can we perform after Class 1?"
"Don't talk, the school leaders are watching us."
The formation of Class 2 stopped in front of the rostrum and shouted in unison, "Be virtuous and knowledgeable! Be diligent and rigorous!" After shouting the eight-character school motto, the formation of Class 2 stepped on the spot a few times. The principal nodded, and the formation walked straight forward and left.
Han Youxin from Class 1 in the audience mocked: "That's it? That's it?" Some audience members couldn't help but join in the laughter.
Xiang Zeyu whispered: "I said that none of the people in Class 1 are good!"
Xiao Zhen said: "In fact, the principal likes our class the most."
"Are you sure?"
Xiao Zhen nodded. His consciousness could clearly feel that the concise and clear appearance of Class 2 on the podium just now made the irritated Principal Wu feel very refreshed. As for the ridicule of other irrelevant people, he could completely ignore it.
Classes followed one after another and there were quite a few classes that put on some unique performances like Class 1. Class 3 was just as bland as Class 2. After Class 4 came on stage, several girls performed a cute 2D dance, which completely heated up the atmosphere of the students. The square formation of Class 6 even performed a rabbit dance collectively after stopping, which made all the leaders on the rostrum laugh so hard that they couldn't stop, except for Principal Wu who was tortured by the wig.
"Ah, they really know how to play." Liu Xingquan exclaimed.
"Our teacher Feng doesn't force formalism," Xu Kewei commented. "This kind of performance is more interesting when students do it spontaneously."
"The initiative of our class..." Liu Xingquan looked straight ahead with his eyes wide open, then sighed. As a class monitor, he seemed to be filled with sadness.
After the endless and long entrance ceremony, Principal Wu gave a brief opening speech for the sports meet. Although Xiao Zhen's conscious investigation revealed that his speech was rhythmically filled with the rhymes of "itchy", "itchy", and "damn itchy" from beginning to end, this did not affect his dignity in front of all the teachers and students in the school.
After a series of processes, the sports meeting officially began!
Xiao Zhen was not selected to participate in any competition except attending the square formation, so he leisurely returned to the audience seats and started to watch the show.
All the competitions were conducted in an orderly manner.
Shen Luyao easily won first place in the 100m and 200m women's sprints, breaking the school record on the spot. Aunt Lu in the audience clapped her hands so happily that they turned red. Wei Jingjing also won big in the women's 400m and shot put.
With these two girls taking the lead and achieving great results, Teacher Feng couldn't help but smile.
On the other hand, a small incident also occurred. Gao Yuan had an argument with the people from Class 3.
Gao Yuan took part in the 100-meter preliminaries. When he started running, he bumped into a classmate from Class 3 next to him. He kicked the classmate on the leg, and the classmate immediately hugged his leg and wailed on the ground.
The men's 100m preliminaries had to be temporarily suspended, and Gao Yuan and the students from Class 3 almost got into a fight. The person he knocked down and injured was Yan Yichi, a member of the school track and field team and the biggest trump card of Class 3 in this sports meeting. Seeing that the trump card was destroyed, the students from Class 3 were furious and surrounded Gao Yuan to ask for an explanation.
"I really didn't mean it!!" Gao Yuan muttered aggrievedly.
The school doctor who arrived squatted down to check the injured person and said that there was no fracture, but he could not compete in this condition. He sprayed him with spray and had someone help him to the side.
"Gao Yuan! You guys in Class 2 are trash!" the people in Class 3 shouted. When the students in Class 2 heard that they were trash, they immediately got angry and stood up to curse back. The verbal battle was stopped by the murderous eyes of Mr. Feng, the head teacher of Class 2, and Mr. Li, the head teacher of Class 3, one minute after it started.
After that, all the competitions continued as usual until the villain Xilin came to find Xiaozhen at dawn.
When Xiao Zhen saw it, it was quietly climbing up the cement steps under Xiao Zhen's feet. Xiao Zhen caught it as soon as she saw it. Fuxiao jumped from Xiao Zhen's hand into the pocket of her school uniform, with only her little head showing: "I'm here to tell you something."
"What's wrong?"
"We just had a problem with a new piece of equipment that arrived in our lab," it said.
Xiao Zhen wanted to say that you and Master Kelun's laboratory were trying to cause trouble again, but then he remembered that Master Kelun's laboratory was in the basement of the school, so he immediately asked: "So? Is it related to our school?"
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big problem." Dawn said easily.
"In my experience, if it's not a big problem, it's a big problem." Xiao Zhen said, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Oh, it's because of the influence of that device that the gravity in a certain area of your playground is a little disturbed." It raised its finger and pointed to the sand pit area of the playground. At this time, a standing long jump competition was taking place in the sand pit. A boy was falling in the sand pit in a funny way in a strange posture.
"You see, that's what's going on." Dawn said, "It's just a slight gravity disturbance, so it might affect your human competition."
"……oh."
"1.2 meters." This embarrassing result made the students watching by the sand pit burst into laughter. At the referee's signal, the boy climbed up and left sadly.
The next contestant came on stage. He was a tall and strong boy from Class 4, Grade 2. When he came on stage, many classmates cheered for him. He was also a member of the school track and field team and a must-win athlete of Class 4. He stood at the starting line with confidence, tiptoed slightly, and then jumped with all his strength. When he landed, he danced with joy and fell to the ground in a strange posture.
"1.15 meters." said the referee.
"..." The ace player of Class 4 buried his face in the sand, refusing to get up in grief and anger.
Amidst the laughter, one after another, the players performed “how to perform a fancy trick and fail in the standing long jump”. No matter how awesome and steady the players were before the jump, as long as they jumped, they would be punished by the live performance.
Amid the tears and grief of the players, the referee began to feel that something was wrong. He stopped the game and went to check the bunker.
Xiao Zhen had to release a large amount of information to the crowd, such as "It is very common to fail in standing long jump", "This kind of thing is too common", and "It is normal to fail in long jump!" to exert suggestion. Information bias based on common sense can affect people's cognition to some extent with just a little release force.
Although it was only slightly affected to some extent, after checking the sand pit, the referee seemed to have reluctantly accepted the bullshit fact that "the failure rate of this standing long jump competition is as high as 99%."
"This is a bit too much." Xiao Zhen said to Fu Xiao unhappily, "When can you fix it?"
"Almost there, almost there." Dawn in his pocket spoke a few words into the communicator, "Master Kelun said he has solved the problem of unstable gravity."
Gu Yu, a female contestant from Class 1, came on stage. It was obvious that the previous contestants' consecutive failures had a great impact on her. She did some simple warm-up exercises beside the sand pit with a serious look on her face. "Come on, class monitor!" "Come on, Gu Yu!" The students in Class 1 cheered her on.
She jumped into the air and landed gracefully on the ground. She didn't fall down or make any weird or funny movements. She landed steadily and steadily on the ground.
Gu Yu succeeded! ! The classmates beside her couldn't help but cheer excitedly.
"1 meter." The referee announced expressionlessly.
"..." Xiao Zhen pinched Fuxiao, "Is this what you call a solution?"
"At least the gravity disorder has been resolved." Fuxiao said seriously, "It's just that the current gravity is slightly greater than the gravity of this planet."
"Fix it for me quickly!"
"1.05 meters."
"0.95 meters."
"0.92 meters."
“…”
After the contestants stopped their fancy falls, they began to perform a competition to see who danced worse than the one before them.
After witnessing several of his most successful students being publicly humiliated one after another, Mr. Zhang, the physical education teacher who was watching, left the sand pit area with a questioning look on his face, "Who am I?" and "Where am I?" He walked away with unsteady steps.
Xiao Zhen had to continue releasing a large amount of information hints such as "It is very common to perform poorly in the standing long jump competition", "Everyone performed poorly today", "This kind of thing is too normal", "Jumping 1 meter is too normal", "Jumping half a meter is normal", while frantically urging Dawn to ask Master Colen to fix the instrument as soon as possible.
"In fact, you should thank the master. The gravity is only slightly stronger now. If the gravity becomes weaker, you will witness all the contestants breaking world records one after another."
"Then I should thank you, right?"
"No need to thank me, just give me a red envelope of credit points."
"Fix it for me quickly!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Dawn finally announced: "It's fixed."
It was the turn of the last girl in the second grade, Xu Kewei from Class 2. She had not signed up for the competition, but was chosen by lot to participate in the standing long jump. No one had high hopes for her.
Xu Kewei took a deep breath nervously, clenched his fists to encourage himself, and jumped forward.
She didn't fall, she jumped steadily.
"1.5 meters." The referee shouted excitedly: "It's 1.5 meters... It's 1.5 meters!!!"
With the passing score of the standing long jump, Xu Kewei won the standing long jump championship on behalf of the class.
The loud speaker on the playground rang out: "This is the youth of struggle, this is the meaning of life. All the hard work will be rewarded, and all the sweat will bear fruit. Our heroic athletes have achieved great success again. Let us cheer for you and give you flowers, just because your spirit moves us and your achievements amaze us! Here we warmly congratulate Xu Kewei from Class 2, Grade 2, who won the standing long jump championship in the second grade with a score of 1.5 meters! 1.5 meters! 1.5 meters..."
Teacher Feng, who was drinking water, spat it out.
